Dan
Henderson (Pictured), on “The
Savage Dog Show,” supporting Scott Coker in his decision to
sale Strikeforce to Zuffa:
“I think Scott was in a bad spot with his partners wanting out and the UFC offering the best offer out there. He can only turn them down so much before -- if he did turn them down, he probably would have been in a bad spot with his partners and the whole organization probably would have suffered. I think that possibly he didn’t really have a huge choice in the matter. I think with him forcing the issue of staying on board was more probably about making sure all of the Strikeforce fighters were taken care of.”
